Abstract: Nowadays, green facades have come as a solution providing environmental and socio-economic benefits integrated with high-rise buildings. These facade systems have started to be implemented in the Albanian Mediterranean climate as innovative design strategies. However, a literature gap regarding their quantitative effects on building energy performance exists. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the potential of green facade design strategies on thermal and energy performance. For the research purpose, a hypothetical high-rise office building was chosen and several scenarios of green facade strategies have been simulated. The performed simulation results generate a basic framework towards early design decision-making stages.
